Putin’s Pattern: Waiting for Joe

While Sleepy Joe Biden was mumbling about “a pound of Ukrainian people”, and “the Iranian people” in Kiev, his Press Secretary was drawing peoples’ attention to something the Democrats would probably rather she didn’t. Which is that Vladimir Putin only ever invades the Ukraine when Joe Biden is in

How NATO Recklessly Poked the Bear
